Makisig Akin (they/them) and Anya Cloud (she/they) love each other. They have been collaborating and imagining together for 12 years. As queer dance artists/activists/educators their work is deeply rooted in the politics of the body and intersectional identity, indebtedness to ancestors and descendants, love, inventing new strategies for being intimately together, and cultivating radical aliveness. Makisig is originally from the Phillipines and Anya is originally from Alaska. They co-direct The Love Makers Company and are currently based between Berlin and Colorado. Together, they created two choreographic works titled We Are (nothing) Everything and Long & Wild, which both premiered in Berlin in 2023. We Are (nothing) Everything is now touring internationally. They regularly co-teach together including at Tanzfabrik Berlin Schule, ImPulsTanz, Being Touch, Wainsgate Dances, Seattle Festival of Dance Improvisation, and The Field Center among others.
